Help with Voice for GNEX 4.1 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I can't seem to find an answer for this, but I got my 4.1 OTA update a few days ago for my GSM Galaxy Nexus. The last two days anytime I look at a web page or go to Facebook for example and touch the screen,my phone reads back everything I touch. I'm trying to find a way to disable the voice so I can view my pages without having a voice read to me what is on the page. Does any one have any ideas? Thanks again.

Yes Talk back is off
UPDATE:
I think I found the problem. Under settings/accessibility, I had the Enhance Web Accessibility option selected as ALLOWED. I switched it to NOT ALLOWED and so far so good.

know issues with the latest builds. Best thing is to go back to a earlier version
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?t7205sjq5x0rqen
download that. its a link to 1.12.9. it is the last stable build i know of.
is there a way to actually change the default voicemail that gets dialed by holding the number 1 i dont want it calling *86
It's in Settings/Programs/Calls/Settings/Voice Mail Service
i really appreciate how nice everyone here is and eventually i will be able to ask questions. I have seen around the interwebs that 4g theoretically is possible now with miui roms does anyone know how to do this? Also what can I do to fix random reboots?
2.1.13_mod
2.1.13_mod works good, I've been running it for 24 hrs, only one small problem with MMS that was easily fixed. So far, I recommend it.
does the phone force close on incoming calls and get those android guys on the radial menus when you do times and dates
I havent had any FC's on anything.... yet, and I'm not sure what you mean by the "android guys"
on a previous release there were android guys that were making it illegible to be able to set the alarm. ok now i am just trying to comprehend how to get visual voicemail back on and working. i'm a little dyslexic at times so it could take a few minutes
Not seeing any Android guys on setting alarms.
As for Sprint VVM, there are some posts about it in the Development thread.
I apparently don't understand what to do in titanium

Guys, go read my guide, link in my sig and you'll find all your answers.
AS for VVM, don't flash that GAPPS in that thread, It works, but VVM is hit or miss. Find GAPPS 110828 for the Evo and use that one. I need to change the link
So just flash that one and don't deal with titanium cause I don't understand what to do in titanium

I flashed the one you posted on the miui fresh on Friday thread but it won't download messages on wifi do you have a fix for that

Yeah, that's the same one. The VVM in there is iffy.
Here's the GAPPS with the older VVM.

[Q] Google Voice Notification Not Going Away

Howdy,
Before I upgraded to CyanogenMod 9.0, I would get a Google Voice message notification for a text message. I'd go into the web version of Google Voice, answer the text and then after a bit, the notification would go away on my phone.
Now switched to CM9 and the notification doesn't go away unless I answer the text on my phone or clear it out on the phone.
I've tried GummyNex and CM9 and they both do it.
Has anyone else seen this? I've done the thing where I've uninstalled GV, did the *73, deleted all the Verizon VMs and the reinstalled GV but it still does it.
Don't think its related to your ROM as I'm having the exact same issue on stock 4.0.4 and have always been on stock. Seems to have started a couple weeks ago....
Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's going on and was about to start a thread myself asking if anyone else had the issue. Thought I was just crazy at first, but I know for a fact this is not how the app acted before. I've tried changing all kinds of things for my browser use of voice.google.com, deleted/re-installed the app, and nothing works.
I'll be texting using just the browser for a bit and look at my phone and I'll have a notification for "25 Google Voice Messages" or whatever. They never clear. I notice that when opening the GV app to the thread I'm texting in, it hasn't synced in the background, and takes a few seconds for the messages I had sent to show up in the thread. It seems as though Google Voice isn't getting background sync anymore.
Aww man So it was just highly coincidental that it happened around the same time I switched over to a different rom.
It's surprisingly frustrating for such a little thing. I just use it so much that it forces me to check the phone and clear it manually to make sure I don't *actually* have a new message when I'm using both my phone and the web app.
Argh.
Yeah - nothing I've found has fixed the issue.

Yes I think it's actually a coincidence as I said I've been on stock and it all of a sudden stopped working as it was. This is just really weird because there's been no update to the app or anything.
It's extra frustrating because Google Voice is my primary #, so I'm doing about 99.9% of my texting with it, and really enjoy being able to use voice.google.com. Dealing with clearing GV notifications every time I pick my phone up is very lame.
I don't believe I'm experiencing this, gv on GSM nexus, stock 4.0.4 rooted. Straight talk tmo mvno

I don't currently have this with my yakju 4.0.4 OTA stock ROM, but I have seen it before on this phone and every other phone I've owned across stock & custom ROMs. Fairly confident it's a problem with the app itself

I don't know.. I agree though that the problem just comes and goes, which is odd. Just a couple weeks ago they weren't clearing for me, but right now it's working fine. I remember thinking that's it's ridiculous this happens on stock firmware

Even moreso ridiculous if this is a known issue and they haven't addressed it even with these several early 2012 updates to the GV app, which made it a lot better overall in UI and UX. I just don't see how it can come and go with no changes whatsoever to your settings.
Mine definitely does the same thing... I thought it used to clear them for me, but I wasn't sure, and figured I was just thinking of how Google Talk clears the messages.
Not a huge deal to me, but it would definitely be nice if they would fix this. Our best bet is to make a post on the help forums with a bunch of posts in it.

If anyone has a chance, they should make a post in the Google Voice forums here (I'll try to do it later when I have a chance if no-one else gets to it): http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/voice/using-google-voice-on-a-mobile-device. I heard that Google Engineers do monitor / read these sometimes, so if we all post in a thread there is a chance it will get read / fixed.
I really wish there was a better way to get stuff like this fixed.
Bit late to the party. Just wanted to chime in that in my experience I don't think I've ever seen the GV notification clear itself after checking the web interface on my computer.
I've been using android for a year now and have gone through 3 phones and the asus transformer tablet. My current phone is running a CM9 based rom, but still it doesn't clear these notifications.
Man, I'd love it if it did.
Note: I think that if you use the GV widget, you will see that the notification on the widget DOES clear after checking the web interface (or at least it did in GB because I just tested this on my current phone and widget doesn't clear it either). I suppose this means that GV is pushing the "read" status of an sms to our phones. The notification on the notification bar, however, still persists despite this.
EDIT: Given my last test on my current phone, it looks like the widget doesn't clear the notification like it used to on GB. It looks like it is, in fact, a syncing issue.

I can confirm that it actually did used to clear when viewed on another device, and this is the intended action. It should work exactly like an IMAP e-mail account (say, the GMail app). If you view a message on the device or in a web browser, it is cleared as read on the other. Google Voice used to do the same, and stopped doing so randomly. It's completely a backend problem.
Really wish they would fix this. Still happening on JB. Very annoying for those of us who text from the web all day.

Phone call issues

*EDIT
This is a known issue per Google. Thread on their product forum here https://productforums.google.com/for...A/tMN4y-GZAAAJ A huge thank you to uicnren for finding it!
I can't seem to find other reported instances of this when web browsing so thought I'd try here.
For the past week or so, anytime I make a phonecall there is no sound to indicate the phone is actually ringing. It's just silent until someone picks up, I get voicemail, etc.
Conversely every single time someone calls me I'm having to press option 1 to talk to them instead of just answering normally. (this part is a user option I've since disabled).
Not sure if I did something to settings, if this a bug, etc. It's driving me nuts though so any suggestions would be appreciated. I have not tried a factory reset yet because if I can about the hassle I'd like to.
Currently running 8.1 March update, on the non Verizon version. Bootloader is locked, not rooted.
Should also add that I use Google Voice, so maybe the issue is on that end.
Thanks in advance!

I would first try clearing the google phone dialer app cache and data, reboot, and see it helps. If not, then I would uninstall it, reboot, then dl it again from the play store :good:
Or, side load the April OTA update

I just looked through the Gvoice settings and didn't find anything (that I could tell) that does that. But thanks for the suggestion!
I think it is the Screen Calls option, under the Calls settings in the web interface. Don't quote me on that.
I have the same problem regarding not hearing the ringing sound when making a call. I also use Google Voice. I have not experienced the press option 1 to answer problem.

Okay so I was able to get rid of that (it's the option that asks if you want to hear the name of the caller, definitely doesn't work like I thought it would).
Loaded the April update and still have the issue with outgoing calls.

S20 just wont get home up or chat features.

i have no idea what else i can do. ive searched everywhere but cant find a reason why my s20, completely updated, has no chat features option in the settings and home up just wont show up in goodlock. im on verizon if that matters
Did you use google messages with the chat features enabled on your previous phone? I used to use google messages on my old phone and when i switched to the s20 the stock samsung messages app would not receive texts that were using the rcs features. But when i installed google messages and activated the chat features all the texts that were pending showed up at once. So now im stuck using google messages. Might be the same issue for you?

So after doing a bunch of different things to fix not getting chat messages what seems to have fixed it was turning off the chat feature on Google messages since that's what i was using cause it worked. Waiting 5 minutes(for it to send the request?) then changing the default messages app to the stock Samsung one. Then changing my sim card to another phone, should say refreshing sim data. Text the people that you had issues with. After like 10 to 15 minutes and verifying that you get the texts, switch back the sim card to your phone and it should now work.
This has worked for me so far all day today. I previously tried resetting phone, deleting contacts, changing sim for a new one and nothing fixed it. Let me know if it works for you.

Question Phone by Google Update

Anyone else get the update for Phone by Google last night and visual voicemail tab at the bottom disappeared ? Also when clicking on Voice Mail in settings, the options flash quickly and disappears. Or is just me.
Yeah, the same for me.
I looked and I'm apparently on the beta channel of the Phone app, which hasn't been updated since 12/8/2021. I don't use visual voicemail since I use Google Voice, and I don't have a problem when I click on the Voicemail settings.

I might switch to beta. On this latest update they did fix the favorites sort order. It doesn't change automatically like it did.
I got the update last night, the tab says "voice mail", I'm not sure if it said "visual voice mail" before, but the voice mail settings don't quickly flash and disappear for me, they work as usual.
I'm also on protonAOSP, maybe that's why.
